Welcome!

The Scottish Family Business Association exists to make Scotland the best in the world at supporting, nurturing and developing the full potential of our family businesses. We were created and are led by family business owners and are a non-profit organisation.

Research, expertise and experience from across the globe show that by adopting specific best practices family businesses can overcome inherent challenges and flourish both as businesses and as families.

Our Goal

Our ambitious goal is of great potential and importance to Scotland.

Family businesses already dominate the Scottish economy, although this is not recognised or given due attention in political, academic or media circles. Family businesses account for 69% of all businesses in Scotland, and around half of all private sector jobs.
They create around 45% of the GDP of our country.

We believe family businesses can achieve even more for themselves and Scottish society.

Martin Stepek, CEO

"The Scottish Family Business Association's strategy is ambitious and long-term, and we need and welcome your support."
